My jobs shutdown starting tomorrow so I'm without work until this clears up. I'm taking my sick/holiday pay which will cover 2-3 weeks then I could file for temporary unemployment.
The owner of the company I work for called me an hour ago and said once I (or any other employee) files for unemployment he would pay the difference between what that pays and our normal pay once we start work again. Great and all but he suggested not taking sick/vacation time and just doing that instead so I'd still have those when we start again. I just told him some BS and I would need as much as I can get up front so I'd take the vacation days then file for unemployment if this lasts that long. While I don't THINK we'll go out of business I don't know what he knows and want to make sure I get that vacation time I'm owed while I can in case the worst happens.
